Tram map bugs

Cysts can be placed on top of the large arches/doorways. From here they are unkillable as well as letting you place new cysts through walls at maximum distance.

Shipping hive's drifters tend to spawn in the small hallway north of Repair Room. If the marines started here this basically game over.

Shipping hive also will not spawn eggs at all sometimes.

Anyone else got others?

    The hallway south of Shipping hive still has a bunch of problems. Cysts still can't be linked across the door threshold sometimes and there's many spots where marines and gorges can get stuck.

    As for the no eggs spawning, I've also seen that bug at the tram repair tech point.

    Easiest way to report map-related issues is to annotate the map in-game. To do so type the following in the location of the problem:
    annotate text

    To see the annotations you (and others) have made type:
    displayannotations true

    I'll be working through all the annotation bugs for my next update. Shipping is getting a rework so hopefully the drifter/egg issues will be fixed, and I'll check out the arches and doorways, thanks for the reports.

    Starting in warehouse for either team seems to be basically gg, especially the aliens.

    Unkillable even with JPs?

    Can you go into a bit of detail about this? Is it too much of a shooting gallery?

    server room is pretty much instant death for aliens. pretty hard to win as marines too.

    Is this because the area around server is relatively resource poor and/or server's isolation from the rest of the map?

    usually because you can't build out the south side of server room without knowing some tricks. so most of the time the aliens are limited to trying to secure warehouse, which is a death trap for both sides.

    Yes.

    As aliens, I find I only have enough starting hive energy to build cysts to one RT (where on summit I can build to almost two from the start). Same issue with marines, except replace hive energy with time to run to nearest RTs.

    I was considering a res point in Control (south of server room), not sure if that would be a wise choice.. maybe?

    I think bile bomb and lerks are also a valid concern for such a large room as warehouse, marines shouldnt have to deal with that stuff.
